Trumps failing presidency has the GOP in a free fall

[calimary]

30. Welcome to DU, kytngirl!

That's what Grover Norquist & Fiends envisioned. A "president" as pen-holder. As long as he can hold a pen and sign whatever we put in front of him, that's all we need. I think that's close to verbatim, what he actually said.

They simple want to rule. They don't want anybody telling them what to do. THEY want to tell everybody else what to do.

And THEY DON'T WANT TO HELP YOU.

And you're right - I don't think he even wants this job, especially now that he's gained a very faint notion of what the job actually entails in real life. I'm convinced, like you, that all he really wanted was to be able to slap the Presidential Seal on all his golf courses and sell merch. For which he could demand a higher price, since the Presidential Seal was on it. He saw it mainly as an opportunity to make even more money. And the interests of the people be damned. He was thinking fame and fortune, mainly because of the value his brand would gain. It probably didn't occur to him that he might actually have to work a little. And as a CEO, he's used to delegating all the work to underlings in exchange for big-sounding titles and proximity to "the big star." That only works in the business world.
